semi private PT

Boy it’s great to be back in the gym!

We are looking for about three to five men and women who live and/or work in the Land Park / Midtown / Downtown areas of Sacramento to try our semi private personal training program this month.

This will be a perfect fit for you if:

– you want a bit more individualized attention and focus over a group workout

– you are ready to come back into the gym, but you aren’t quite ready for the larger groups in light of everything that’s going on right now

– you like the ‘win-win’ idea of semi private PT

– because you get what is VERY close to personal training-level service, at a lower cost because it’s spread between 1 or 2 or so more people

If you are interested, reply to this message, and we’ll send you all the details on our semi private PT 14 Day Jump Start program so that you can give it a try.

Thanks!

– Forest and the FVT Team

[video] FVT Reopening Walk-Thru

Hey!

Thought I’d hop on and do a video today..

..we are so excited to be reopening this weekend!

This is a walk through of what it will be like when you come in for a session.

10 minute before each training session, we will open the door. This is to minimize the amount of time you’re congregating and chatting etc.

As you come in, you will 1) use hand sanitizer 2) go through a COVID-19 “self screen” checklist.

Then you will walk in the gym using the one entrance that we will have set up.

NOTE: signing up ahead of time is MANDATORY, because we are limiting the group size to 10.

During the workout, each person will have their own designated 250 sq foot space to work out in.

You will also be using your own equipment that you clean before and after the workout yourself, the entire time.

And that’s about it!

So much look forward to getting back in the mix and see you soon!

-Forest, owner, FVT Personal Training

the Kettlebell Dirty 30

The original “Dirty 30” workout comes from the CrossFit world.

It’s a “chipper” workout is where you link a series of exercises together, performing one after the other in succession (hence the name – you’re “chipping away” reps of a given exercise before you move on to the next.)

The idea is to:

  • Push the metabolic conditioning element
  • Burn a ton of calories
  • Physically and mentally challenge yourself

All in one training session.

What could be better?!? 🙂

So check out this “dirty 30 – inspired” kettlebell workout, that you can do with just a single kettlebell and your own bodyweight, any time, any place:

the Kettlebell Dirty 30

For time:

  • 30 KB snatches (15 reps per side) (men – 24k / women – 16k)
  • 30 shoulder tap push ups (15 reps per side)
  • 30 walking KB goblet lunges (15 reps per side)
  • 30 pull ups OR 90 recline rows
  • 30 one arm KB swings (men – 24k / women – 16k)
  • 30 burpees
  • 30 alternating KB suitcase reverse lunges (15 reps per side)
  • 30 hanging leg raise OR 90 lying leg raises
  • 30 close (diamond) push ups
  • 30 tuck jumps

14 day Metabolic Reset “1000 Calorie” KB/BW/conditioning Workout

The last eight weeks have been a challenge, in a lot of ways.

For many of us, both our physical and mental health has taken a hit.

But things are starting to open back up in most parts of the world, and we’re getting messages from men and women everywhere that they are excited to get back to training towards some fitness goals.

— You want to re-spark your motivation
— You want to get and stay fit, lean and agile
— You want to “get better with age”
— You want to do all the things I want to do with out being out of breath or movements

…and that’s why we’re doing the 14-day Metabolic Reset Challenge.

We’re kicking your a@@ into gear ????

This is a 14-day “kick-start”… focused on nutrition, with the full done-for-you meal plan and lifestyle guide you need to succeed… but also with the workouts where you will burn a MASSIVE amount of calories, to really take your efforts to the next level.

Here’s a sample workout:

14 day Metabolic Reset “1036 Calorie” KB/BW Workout

(calorie estimates are for average-sized man)

1 – Do a 15 minute dynamic warm up – joint mobility, self myofascial release, dynamic stretching (90 calories burned)

2 – Do 35 minutes of high-intensity kettlebell/body weight/etc resistance training – something like the workout below (336 kcals burned):

*Warm up – Do five Turkish Get Ups on each side. Start easy – with no weight at all or a light weight – and work up to a heavier weight with each rep. Switch sides after each rep.

*Perform the first exercise in each pairing. Immediately move to the next exercise (or exercises) and complete the prescribed number of reps. Rest :30 and repeat each sequence a total of three times.

1a: 8 reverse lunges
1b: pull ups – one rep short of failure

2a: 6 kettlebell presses
2b: 20 body weight squats (explosive tempo)

3a: 25 kettlebell swings (your choice)
3b: 15 push ups

3 – Run 5k – 3.2 miles – at a medium (6 mph) pace (504 calories burned)

If you are not into running, you could also do about 35 minutes of medium-to-high intensity biking, swimming, rowing, etc.

4 – Finish with 15 minutes of simple yoga poses (106 calories burned)

Now not every single workout is this massive. Nor does it have to be to get results. And we give you modifications and adjustments, so that you can do the workout no matter your current fitness level, injuries, etc.

But the big idea is, get ready! Let’s do this! Because we are ready to start working towards those fitness goals, together!! Get started on the 14-day Metabolic Reset Challenge here: https://bit.ly/fvtnutritionchallenge
